Other Side of the Shrimp Fest



For years we've attended the annual Shrimp Festival in  Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida. We've walked the streets lined with  10x10 white tents housing the handcrafted wares of all kinds of artists. Over time the festival has spread to the side streets, allowing more vendors with antiques plus fun for the whole family. But one thing stays the same.  The heat. Man oh man, is it hot! What else is to be expected though because we're in the deep South after all. So this year, I was not buying but selling- selling my historic novels, Secret Pebbles, Born to Burp bibs, painted glass, painted cards, magic pirate and princess keys, tic-tac-toes games, and on and on.  Bottom line- No matter which side of the counter you're one, a trip to the Amelia Island's Shrimp Festival is not to be missed.  See you next year- OH, and did I mention they have shrimp to eat?
